TuY, JUKE 30.—Theiptelligence from our neigh bours, the. Pottuouezie, comes upon us by surprise, :Ind in a sort of disorderly way, so that we cannot give a methodia narrative. of the ninny important erzonS which have occurred within the last few days, hot vity in Oporto, but also in the vicinity of Chaves, Bragonia, and Villareal. We do not allude to the r nithusiasin which is every where o d . tsplayed against NAvootooN, JosEen, and JuNnT i bio pelting and banning the effigies of all three gt - Itient, nor to the energy .tnd aoth.ity which has io. displayed in the general armament 01 ttic Cotintr);,.lthough the ponnptitade with which Portugal ha's converted it into .an armed .nation appears incrfe,.dible ; the country, excepting Almeyda avid") Lisbon, is converted into a general encampment, and Without, the least confusion'. Portugal has` enjoyed advan tages and means of security, of which we have been itoprivcd; especially -in the Castiles. The tyrant.. cool-) has been emitted up in Lisbrin, with the lOn o lish Squad;on l O.fore him, and all Spain in a t:cie of insurrection behind him:: in addition' to this, Ire hag been injured by his own blindness and :;topidity,- in supposing that his acts of cruelty, his I,:onder of . the churches, his enormous contributions, ut which, contrary tb the statements in NAPOLEON'S GozAte3, not a,rnahvedi was remitted—l say by insanity, in supiv,lng that all this violence and extortion were so many acts of gentleness and affec-' tic n, to gain over the hearts of tile Portuguese. MAnttrn, the week of the cele tr,oion of the Feast of Corpus Christi has been pass ed, ill mourning and retirement. - The usual hours o eolle4ng for this duty were disregarded. Mass was performed at seven in the,Thorning, which was at tended by very few, and those few endeavoured to conceal theinsclves ; for if a numb::: of people were soon,' in any Church, a detachment ofFrench modiately appeared before it, and the mostfavour r.be termination was, that they were all sent hOme. Since the 2d of May no situation has been more dangercns than the. Temples of our Religion, where the French station, guards and spies, to deprive us, if it were orissible,ot attaining even the Divine protec tion. a melancholy day was Holy Thursday in our Churches--it resembled the solemnity of the Day of Judgment ! In the midst of the celebration of Mass, the public dut;es were interrupted by the intrusion of French patroles, who weoq,etilling out, Disperse,•disperse, home, home," and threaten ing the religious persons collected v:tth filing upon thew. These inetvees were interlarded with im pure and blasphemous expressions; the military rushed into the midst of the .people; which occa sioned the most indecent 'and frightful disorders, and excited cruel alarms. We demnot under stand that any lost their lives, E..,ut death- seemed pre ferable to snob i scene of horror, confusion, and • tittly. After all this disquietude, we - have been relieved, We see with► ,delight account of the.viaory of khe Arrarneze, and we are confident that the Di ine Lady of Yilah has determined to take yen fo- the saerileffious contempt of her miracles txprAs - ed by the French in the 'Madrid Journals.

Tu Duckworth Cartel arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday, frdm . the Texel, where she had been with the Dutch Governor taken oh board the d uelderland.

They Mention the fa& of Geneial DUPONT being so cotnprelety-sur rounded, tlAt no doubt whatever was entertained, even it the Patriots did not attack him, be would •be 'compelled; by want or provisions; to surrender.. There appears to be a considerable variation between General PALAFOX'S account of the Battle near Sara goiEa, and tfiat 7ien by Mr. 1 ,1 7 E5T. We , are, we cenfei.s, unable to give a saasfaStory explanation of the cause of this difference but with respeet to the main faa, of the defeat of General LEFEBVRE, we entertai❑ not the smallest doubt. The fludacious, of 74 guns, with the Transports from Gottenburgh, arrived yesterday at Portsmouth. IT was rumoured last .night that further accounts had been received froin Spain, stating, that MurtAT had been killed in an Jnsurre&ion at Madrid. Upon inquiry, however, we found that there had been no fresh arrival from Spain : the report therefore is not entitled to any credit. We have authority to state, that the Bulletin, which was circulated on Tuesday evening, &tea- Foreign Office, Tuesday, three o'clock," is wholly unauthorised ; and that whatever reason there may be to hope, that the Rumours of the Event- - ; therein related may prove to be not unfounded, no intel ligence of them has been received at the Foreign Office, in any authentic form. THE Address from the City of London, which was yesterday presented to His MAJESTY, does ho nour to the principles and feelings of all who were concerned in producing it. It breathes sentiments worthy of men who are themselves possessed of Freedom, who know its full value, and who are anxious to extend its blessings all over the world. Though the spirit of Party has sometimes influenced the counsels of the City, yet it has always ma nifested a strenuous regard for the rights of man, and for the preservation of our excellent Coil_ stitution. With such principles and such feelings, it was natural to expect that the leading men . of this great Corporation would sympathize with a people struggling for their independence—with a people who have the courage to resist the most formidable Tyrant that ever attempted to obtain an universal empire over mankind, and who has spread. his chains over so many States of Europe. When, therefore, the Capital of the British Empire,followieg the example of the British Monarch, comes forward to proclaim its sentiments to all mankind, and to express its thanks to that gracious Monarch for the readiness which he has shewn to assist the people who are engaged in this glorious cause, such coudu& must . have a proper influence upon every State of Europe, and dispose them not only to look with admiration on this Country, and its magnanimous Soveroign but to emulate the noble spirit of the Spaniards, and to rouse them against the upstart Tyrant who has so long held them in the most disgraceful captivity.— ' As the sentiments thus laudably manifested by the .City of London, with respell to the heroic and.pa triotic Spaniards, are - prevalent throughout the Enl ist' Nation, we may confidently ex - ped that similar Addresses will pour in -from all guar ter.F. Hence the British People will set an ex ample of zeal for freedom, a laudable sympa thy with those who are struggling to preserve it, and a generous promptitude to render them all pos- Sible assistance in such a glorious cause. Even the French themselves may begin to be sensible of the wretched contrast which their chara&er and condua presents to mankind,-and to all future ages, in sub mitting to the tyranny of a low-born Usurper, whose name is devoted to eternal infamy, and who gives them, instead of the liberty for which they have • made so many sacrifices, an iron yoke, which keeps them under a greater degree of subjection than they'' ever endured before. We ought not to' conclude' without observing, that the style in which the City, Address is conveyed is suitable to the energy and liberality which characteriee it. It is brief, em phatic, simple, and expressive. His MAJESTY'S Answer is marked by that dignified condescension, philanthropic zeal, and elevated generosity, which become the Monarch of this free and happy Nation. • Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, his MAJESTY . acrived at the Q4ecn's Palace .from Windsor. A t three o'clock his MAJESTY held a private Levee, %vbieh was attended \ by a deputation 'front - the Cor poration of the City of London, to present their Loyal Address, upon the present - prosperous state of the Patriots in Spain, windh was attended by The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, accompanied By the Sword of State, the Mace-Bearer, and tre Chaplin ; Alder- - man Curtis, accompanied by Mr.. Quip, the mover of the Address ; Aldermen Anderson and bhaw ; the Recorder and Mr. Reynolds ; •Aldermen Flower, Ploiner; Hunter, hoy den, Prinsep, Scholcy, Birch, • and Atkins;' Sheriff' Sniith and the Remembrancer; ,Sheriff Phillips and their Deputy, Mr. Leigh ; the Chamberlain and Clerk ; the Common Ser jeant ; tue Town Clerk and City SolicitorS, Messrs.

The Supreme Council of Government gives notice to the inhabitants of this city, and of all the districts under their command, that by several deserters who have arrived here from the French army, encamped in the environs of Cordova, intelligence has been re ceived, that there are a great many among those troops who are desirous to come over to us, moved by the justice of our cause, but that they dare not do it from fear of being murdered. in our roads and places, on account of the hatred, which, they sup pose, is universally entertained against the Freach, and also again'st the Swiss, and other foreigners, who do not distinctly speak our language. The great mischief occasioned by rumours of this description ought the more to be obviated, as if we succeed to refute them, we shall not only increase our own forces, but also diminish those of the enemy, and compel them to , surrender, as we shall then be thoroughly informed — of the state, situation, and position which they take, and then be able to attack them to advantage, and cut of their retreat.— The Supreme Council accordingly ordains and di re6ts, that the said deserters shall be received with the utmost - kindness, And furnished with previsions and other necessaries which they may stand in need of, AlireEting them to be sent to the Justices of the respe&ive distrias, and of our nearest Miiiitary Com manders, who will send them to this Supreme Council, or to the Captain General of our Army, should he be nearer, who will, in that case, give them such destination as shall appear most expedient; it being well understood, that if from an indiscreet zeal, or other motive, this useful 4zoiinance should , not be complied with, the Offenders Shall be punish ed with the utmost severity, as all the people dught implicitly to rely on the vigilance of this Supreme Council, and on their great and 'gallant army. The SupreMe Council further dirats,' that all French men, who reside among us, atter they shall have taken the oath of allegiance, , and Obtained letters of safeguard, shall not be anyways molested, but shall, on the'contrary, be left in tranquil possession of their property, commerce, and trade, a proceeding. diclafed both by equity and justice, and ,by a proper attention to the public cause; the Justices of the different distrias being nevertheless oblici 6 ed'to Watch their condati. And,: in order that this Manifesto may.be universally known, it shall be posted in the usual places, and transmitted to all the 'Aistices of the differeht places, that they may be able to .at teud to the sttia performance thereof.-- , -Giveu in our Royal Palace of Alvazas, in Seville, June - 1 - 4; 1808. JUAN BAUTISTA PARDO, Sec. COR UNNA, JULY B.—An action took place between 4000 French and the peasantry in the neighbourhood of Cervera, in the principality of Catalonia, of which the following is the result : The enemy had sought refuge in a fissure of the mountains, where the cavalry could not act. There 2009 of the French were killed, and 800 horses were taken. The rest were so situated that it was impos sible they should escape. By the dispatchc3 tioui Saragossa, and the . ardour displayed by the peasantry, who were continUally sending reinforcements, it is presumed that the fugitive remains have already stir rendered.
